brothers don’t call the cops to escort the other out of a building just cuz they’re uncomfortable with them being there….

Coming from the streets i’ve known many dudes, that i would say fall amoung the line of a Beanie. Now those dudes were supposed to be these tough guys, so when i hear Beans speak and you can hear the hurt in that man’s voice. It is really sad, because things should never get this bad between “friends”. Hov needs to call that man and fix this. I don’t really want to see these two beef, even if i love a good rap beef.

dope read and i agree with your whole take on fam beefing with each other. that’s probably why em never responded to royce’s tracks or interviews. you basically only heard one of side the story. some thing’s aren’t meant to be seen or heard. it’s like beating your kids in public.

Great blog post, CJ. Most grown-man commentary that I’ve seen on the topic. I fux with Jay and Beans, hard. So I agree wit you, this one hurts to watch.

We got a major problem in today’s society with taking responsibility and owning up to the fucking consequences.

Beans had it all, and blew it all. Don’t get nothing twisted. This IS about money. The root of all evil. Beans blew his, and even worse, he blew what Roc-A-Fella set up for him, his family, and his boys to eat off of for many years. THAT’S what Jay’s response was to him.

I would side with Beans if he re-opened State Property and tried to build a buzz with that, and went to Jay to get down with Roc Nation, and Jay dissed on that. But Beans ain’t got shit going.

Jay could be a snake, I don’t know. But, dude set Beans up with his deal, on the strength of Quest Love’s word, set him up with a label, and a clothing line.

Beans stayed in and out of jail and courts. Stayed fucking with drugs. Jay AND BEY were photo’ed going in and out of courts in Philly over the years. I’m pretty sure Jay had to cut the cord. He damn sure wasn’t co-signing for Beans AGAIN in court, when Beans didn’t even trust himself. We all know folks that just can’t leave them streets alone, even at 35 years old.

What makes him think Jay called the cops and feds on him? Wasn’t Jay on stage performing? Beans brings that kind of attention (the po-po kind) to himself by himself by the shit that he’s still into. Who knows what Beans was in the middle of, prior to that. Take responsibility for your shit.

I lost a lot of respect for Beans on this one. As a man, you build yourself back up on your own, but not by tearing the next man down. Black people really need to stop co-signing this shit. Dude need to grow up.

I would actually rather see this beef than some WWE main event rap beef. This kind of beef might make artists think twice before shitting on their own crew and not supporting people the way they should. Beans used all RELEVANT points instead of saying Jay’s a camel or can’t rap for shit no more. Beans is using facts instead of the regular bullshit people beef about without even meeting each other.
Some beefs are necessary to move on and this was one of them. If jay is too big to come down and talk to Beans, he’s gonna get checked on record. The fact that Jay said, “he’s got a lot to complain about” just shows the frame of mind he’s in. He feels like he don’t owe nobody nothing, but you owe THAT MAN.

What up CJ? You hit the topic square on brother. I know a few things about that same type of issue. Men being too proud to step to each other to work it out on some one-on-one shit. It’s clear that Beans had no other way of getting at Jay. I want to believe that, cus that’s the only way he would go down this route…but damn, what an ugly route to take. Beans, Jay, please u-turn this 18-wheeler of bullshit and holla at each other. Yall fucking up my Roc music memories. Yep, on some selfish shit. Stop fucking up the music!

BTW, you know about Lincoln Place??

First of all, I hope you’re reading thisn Combat Jack. I just want to say that your description and usage of metaphore in describing Jay-Z and Beans is impeccable, and indicative that that you may be holdin some lyrical skills on the low. That said, I agree with you from a “man” standpoint. My view, however, is that Jay-z has done some cats wrong and these are dudes who may not roll together or even like eachother. It’s not a concerted “eff jay-z” thing. They all say the same thing. Dude does his homies dirty. Throw in DeHaven, Calvin Klein, and Amil to that ex-friends list of Jayz and it’s obvious. Peace fam.

Jay is selfish. Beans is fucked up.
Jay: He has always been about self and quick to cast aside anyone who threatens/dosent fall in line. (Amil??) I believe Beans when he says why did Jay always drop a video or record during my promo time. I feel he did the same shit to Buddens and anyone else he thought could steal his shine. He couldn’t stop Kanye so he had to just play the “big” brother role (next thing I know he got a song with Coldplay!?!) There is no reason Beans books shouldn’t have been healthy and he should have got visits and letters. He should have let Beans go if he really wanted to leave and had a serious offer. point blank.
Beans: Who told you to tank your career with drugs and senseless violence? High speed chases, tossin syrup, xanax, and oxys out the window, punching old men in the face when they honk at you cause your double parked? constant pills and assault/shooting charges and jail terms. How can Jay grow into a business man with you by his side? Sam didn’t have the luxury of cutting off nicky in casino the way jay did you. and it’s your fault. You went with dame after the break up. The one you say robbed you, because you said jay was never really there and it was more personal with dame. Now Jay left you, huh? I expected more from you than this shit, you were the one who I never thought would violate the codes of the streets and being up on the radio with 50 when you know he is just there to push his own agendas is bullshit. you lost.
